Bug 725446 – sci-libs/fflas-ffpack fails tests

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Agostino Sarubbo 2020-05-26 07:16:41 UTC]

This is an auto-filed bug because sci-libs/fflas-ffpack fails tests.
The issue was originally discovered on amd64, but it may be reproducible on other arches as well.
If you think that a different summary clarifies the issue better, feel free to change it.
Attached build log and emerge --info.

NOTE:
If you need further logs, feel free to ask.

I cannot reproduce it. Apart from the blas/lapack you used, the only thing that may be interesting is your hardware.

this is an Amazon EC2 instance

Thought it could be something like that. I'll have a look upstream and point them here if I cannot find anything.

[Comment 6 François Bissey 2020-05-26 09:42:18 UTC]

It looks like it could be nearly identical to a report upstream by conda people

We can disable this test in the meantime if it's affecting other people and no better solution presents itself. Patch attached so I don't have to re-do it later.

    sci-libs/fflas-ffpack: disable a (sometimes) failing test case.
    
    One of the test programs for fflas-ffpack is failing on both Gentoo
    and Conda, and may indicate an upstream problem. In the meantime,
    having the test suite fail is of no use to Gentoo users. This commit
    disables the test until we can figure out the right way to fix it.
